Practically every anti-gay religious right organization and hate group is issuing press releases and statements detailing their near-historic levels of anger at President Obama, merely for signing executive orders demanding federal contractors not discriminate against LGBT people in the workplace.

I've been fighting for workplace and housing protections for more than a decade, both in my native home of Utah and on the national level. In my opinion, there is no more important issue for LGBTQ Americans than making sure we cannot be fired from our jobs or evicted from our homes just because of who we are. It once happened to me, and that's why I no longer support ENDA.

The Human Rights Campaign today reiterated support for ENDA -- including its large religious exemptions -- despite seven LGBT and civil rights organizations announcing they are dropping support for the legislation.
